To go online with your old DS(i) games again, make sure you have a network they can connect to, then go to the Nintendo WFC settings, which can be accessed from any game with WiFi functionality. DSi or 3DS devices can be set up the same way. To also allow DSi (Enhanced) games and DSiWare access to the internet (with the bonus of WPA/WPA2 network connectivity), go to the DSi/3DSâ€™s system settings and change the WiFi connections from there. In the 3DSâ€™s case, look under â€˜Nintendo DS connectionsâ€™. In the settings for the network of your choosing, go to where it says â€˜Auto-obtain DNSâ€™ and change this to â€˜Noâ€™, then set the Primary DNS to 178.62.43.212, and the Secondary DNS to 1.1.1.1. Save these settings, and start playing online again!

Any 3DS and DSi users who have been away from the 3DS and DS scene (and DS-Scene) for a while, let it be known that the 3DS and DSi can now fairly easily be softmodded with custom firmware. Especially in the 3DSâ€™s case, there are loads of different homebrew applications for any purpose you could think of, ranging from emulators to save managers to file managers, and so on. You can do anything. All you need to hack two of the greatest handhelds to ever grace the Earth is a bit of time to read and follow the instructions from the guides linked below. Most of the process is automated, but make sure you read every word on every page. As long as you follow the instructions to a T, you canâ€™t damage your device.

These CFW hacks are compatible with all 3DS and 2DS models, including the â€˜New 3DSâ€™, and with all DSi models excluding the Chinese iQue DSi. The hacks are also compatible with the latest firmwares. Have fun!

Looks like the new Nintendo console is going to be an even more outrageously crazy console-handheld hybrid than previously speculated. Hopefully, it will have a really powerful battery inside it (so Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the go is more than just a dream). Or inside all the different parts you can take off. How does it work?Slightly more info and a couple of pictures
